CLINTON TO GET BUSH'S 'CANDID ASSESSMENT'
LITTLE ROCK -- President-elect Clinton goes to Washington on
Wednesday as a conquering hero to get President Bush's "candid
assessment" of some world hot spots and look over the city he will
live and work in for at least four years
Clinton told reporters Tuesday he was looking forward to the
hour-long encounter in the Oval Office that he will soon call his
own. "I want to talk about whatever he wants to talk about and I
think we ought to talk about some issues specifically involving the
transition," he said.
He said in particular that "I want to get his candid
assessment of some world issues, some problems that I'll be facing
at the beginning of my term
II
Clinton spokesperson Dee Dee Myers said Clinton has no hard
feelings toward Bush over the tenor of the campaign, and that when
the two men talked on the phone after the election, "Gov. Clinton
put the campaign behind him and I think President Bush did the
same." Myers said, "George Bush is a pro. He's really been
gracious, and I think Gov. Clinton appreciates that."

Clinton To Meet With Bush Wednesday

I think it will be just a

historically, it is a time when the outgoing president communicates
important thoughts to the incoming president."

The problem is, there is not much to finish. Having endured

POSSIBLE LINK BETWEEN QUAYLE'S OFFICE
AND PASSPORT-FILE SEARCH IS INVESTIGATED
State Department investigators continued to probe for a
connection between White House officials and the department's
handling of Gov. Clinton's passport files, in advance of a report

Investigators from the inspector general's office asked Steven
Berry, acting assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs,

Quayle's legislative office on Capitol Hill.
According to someone with knowledge of aspects of the

Tamposi has hired a lawyer and is prepared to argue that the

CLINTON'S PASSPORT FILES RESIGNS
A State Department official who carried out the two-day search

The official, Steven Moheban, was a top aide to Elizabeth
Tamposi. "I resigned Monday,' said Moheban. "I no longer work for
the State Department. Moheban said he had not been asked to
resign, but had stepped down voluntarily to "pursue business
opportunities in the private sector."
He was reluctant to give details about his role in the file
search, saying he wanted to wait for a report from the State
Department. But the timing of his resignation suggested that he
was accepting some responsibility for the search and the way it was

GOP UNITY SESSION ENDS IN DISCORD
Mississippi Gov. Fordice Insists
The U.S. 'Is A Christian Nation'
FONTANA, Wis. -- Just as Republican governors sought to close
a post-election gathering here on a note of unity and inclusion,
the religious tensions that have plagued the GOP surfaced in a
dramatic fashion.
At the final news conference, southern governors were asked
whether the party's conservative Christians would be alienated by
repeated declarations here that the Republican Party is a "big
tent" that can encompass both social liberals and moral purists.
Mississippi Gov. Kirk Fordice stepped forward, and some of his
colleagues cringed. "The United States of America is a Christian
nation, which does not mean in any way to infer any kind of
religious intolerance or any kind of particular dogma that is being
forced on anyone," Fordice declared. "It is just a simple fact of
life in the United States of America
And the less we emphasize
the Christian religion, the further we fall into the abyss of poor
character and chaos in the United States of America."

The increasing likelihood that President Bush will take a

The last Cold War president, from a generation that sent young

But in judging whether the country is ready,
Bush has to balance a wrenching conflict between emotional and

get adequate cooperation and if we can speed this process up, to
make positive moves with respect to the embargo, I think that the
government of Vietnam has made a decision to help us get answers,"

YUGOSLAVIA/U.N.
ABC's Peter Jennings: We're going to begin tonight with an attempt
by the international community to stop the madness in the former
Yugoslavia, though you would be hard-pressed to find any two people
in the U.S. or any other government who believe it will be enough.
Six months after imposing economic sanctions on the Serbian
government, and with the fighting as brutal as ever in Bosnia-
Herzegovina, the U.N. will now try to enforce the sanctions with
a naval blockade on the Serbians.
ABC's Bob Zelnick reports that U.S. and other NATO warships will
soon be able to stop cargo headed for Iraq during the Gulf War.
Until now, western navies have done nothing more than keep track
of what ships were complying with the U.N. embargo against Serbia
and which were not. The result has been that ships carrying oil,
coal and other contraband have been unloading cargo at ports in
Greece and Montenegro. The cargo is then transported overland to
Serbia. But tomorrow in Brussels, NATO's Military Affairs Council
is expected to issue new orders to turn those ships around.
(Pete Williams, Pentagon spokesman: "You stop the ship, you if
necessary board the ship. If you think it might be laden, you
inspect the cargo and check it against the manifest.")
Pentagon sources say that NATO warships will not enter the Danube
River, even though it's a major highway for contraband entering
Serbia. It is smuggled from the neighboring countries of Hungary,
Bulgaria and Romania. Western officials say they hope the new U.N.
declaration and the Adriatic blockade will encourage those states
to stop the illegal traffic themselves. Few here believe these
sanctions will immediately reduce Serbian aggression. From the
outset the West has been a giant stride behind Serbia's territorial
appetite.

TERRORISM/U.S.
ABC's John McWethy reports the U.S. government has secretly
indicted more than a dozen men for killing Americans overseas
during the last eight years. Among those who have been indicted
are men who hijacked TWA Flight 847 in 1985 and kidnappers who
killed American hostages in Lebanon. The U.S. government is now
running a worldwide advertising campaign trying to shake loose more
information, and will pay up to $2 million for information on
terrorists.

POW/MIA/SENATORS
ABC's James Walker reports from Hanoi that Sen. Kerry said it was
an eerie experience as Vietnamese officials at the Army War Museum
turned over flight suits, parachutes and a vest belonging to downed
U.S. pilots. The American delegation was also handed photo albums
and a charred diary recovered from the wreckage of an aircraft.
The director of the museum told how he was part of a North
Vietnamese unit that ambushed and killed four American soldiers
from the 196th Infantry Brigade in April 1967. He said village
youngsters sat on the bodies to hide them from low-flying American
helicopters. The bodies, he said, were hidden in a river, weighted
down with rocks, then later removed and buried. He said he will
take American investigators to Guang Nai (ph) province next week
to try to locate the grave sites. The American team drove to the
Citadel, Vietnam's Pentagon, to check on reports that caucasians,
possibly American prisoners, were spotted there in 1986. They
visited the site, questioned Vietnamese families who live on the
ground, and concluded:
(Sen. Kerry: "Information that we have been given was inaccurate,
didn't pan out, and even the views that had been described were not
what we found.")
Committee members are purposely refraining from criticizing the
Vietnamese for not turning over the information they had on
American servicemen in the war, even though it has become clear
that they kept meticulous records and withheld them for years.

RUSSIAN NUKES
CBS's Jim Stewart reports all 25,000 of the old Soviet Union's
small battlefield nuclear weapons were thought to have been safely
shipped back to Russia for disposal. But now Azerbaijan reportedly
claims to have held onto a half dozen of the bombs and is
threatening to use them on Armenia in a bloody dispute over
territory. Russian officials said today they don't believe the
claim and doubt Azerbaijan could make good on its threat in any
event. U.S. intelligence experts estimate a dozen or so Soviet
battlefield nuclear warheads were kept in Azerbaijan at any one
time, but all were thought to have been removed. The possibility
some were not, however, worries experts. Of greater concern are
the thousands of more powerful strategic nuclear warheads still
scattered among the republics. Russia still holds the keys to her
sister republics' missiles, however.

Mr. Marlin Fitzwater
Press Secretary to the President
The White House
Dear Marlin:
I'm a reporter for the Washington Post, currently on leave to
write a book about the Persian Gulf War. In the past eighteen
months I've talked at length to virtually all of the military
commanders involved in the war, as well as Scowcroft, Cheney,
Baker, Powell, Wolfowitz, Haass, Gates, and many others. My book
focuses largely on the forty-three days of the war itself, and will
be published by Houghton Mifflin Co. next year.
I've noticed that the President on a couple of occasions since
the election has expressed the hope that historians will duly
record the accomplishments of his administration. Obviously, he
doesn't need me to help with the task, but in effect that's
precisely what I'm trying to do in my book.
If it's at all possible, I'd like to talk to the President
about several important events during the war:
*The emotion of the first night, January 16, 1991, as he
waited for word of the initial allied attack.
*His successful efforts to keep Israel out of the war as the
first Scuds hit. I'm particularly interested in his own thinking
about the pros and cons of an Israel response.
*The meeting at the White House on February 21, 1991, when the
decision was made to set a deadline for Iraq to leave Kuwait or
face our ground attack. He's particularly credited with adroitly
handling the Soviet mediation efforts at a time when others were
inclined to simply push Mr. Gorbachev aside.
*His reaction upon learning that the ground offensive had
begun with virtually no American casualties.
I know the President's extraordinarily busy, but I'd like to
think that my book will help bring the achievements of the war back
into proper perspective. Thanks for your consideration. I look
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Rick Atkinson

Re:
September Merchandise Trade
The September trade deficit declined to
$8.3 billion, from $8.9 billion in August.
Exports increased a little more than $2
billion, to an all-time high. Imports rose a
little less than $2 billion. The deficit was
pretty close to private analysts'
expectations.
Our trade data are a month further
behind than all the other monthly data,
because of the time it takes to collect.
While all the other data we have received
lately had been for October, the first month
of the fourth quarter (which is off to a
decent start), these trade data are for
September, the last month of the third
quarter.
The economy continues to grow at a slow
to modest pace, with low inflation, but not
much job growth.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:

SUBJECT:
Merchandise Exports and Imports in September,
Commerce Department Release, Tomorrow, 8:30 a.m.
The merchandise trade deficit narrowed to $8.3 billion in
September from $8.9 billion in August. Private analysts had
expected the deficit to decrease to $8.5 billion.
In September, merchandise exports increased by $2.4 billion,
or 6.8 percent, to an all-time high. Exports increased for all
major end-use categories, with the largest increase occurring in
nonautomotive capital goods.
Merchandise imports also grew to an all-time high,
increasing by $1.8 billion, or 4.0 percent. Imports increased
for all principal end-use categories except for foods, feeds, and
beverages. The largest increase occurred in nonfood consumer
goods.
More than two-thirds of the total deficit was accounted for
by deficits with two countries-- Japan and China.

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Honorable George H.W. Bush
President of the United States
The White House
Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
George P. Mitchell and I are greatly concerned about the future of the domestic petroleum
industry in the United States and we have come to the conclusion, and jointly recommend to you, that
in order to save the up-stream segment of the United States petroleum industry, i.e., exploration and
production, a minimum security price is tantamount to its survival.
The necessary findings under the Trade Expansion Act have already been made 80 that you
can, by Executive Order, establish a minimum security price for crude oil. The minimum price for
crude oil imported into the United States should be either $20 to $22 per barrel, escalated for
inflation. $20 is politically easier, but $22 is better economically and more realistic based on U.S.
resource economics and the Consumer Price Index.
It is about time that the United States regained its leadership in world energy. We can no
longer afford foreign cartels to control the world's most important commodity, particularly a
commodity that has such a tremendous effect on our domestic economy.
Over the last 20 years, the United States has alternatively tried crude oil price controls,
Windfall profit Taxes, and "free market' energy policies. For different reasons, each of these policies
bave failed to provide this country with secure long-term supplies of energy at either efficient or
equitable prices. These policies have, however, encouraged foreign production, penalized domestic
producers, undermined U.S. conservation and efficiency efforts, and have caused substantial damage
to the U.S. environment and its natural resource base.
The time has come for the United States to implement energy policies that prevent further
damage to its natural resource base and counter, not complement, the role of OPEC in the
international energy market. The implementation of a "Minimum Security Price" can address these
and many other domestic policy goals as well, as it will:
:
A Minimum Security Price can promote long-term economic growth consistent with
efficient and equitable energy prices.
:
A Minimum Security Price can help save the U.S. natural resource infrastructure.
:
A Minimum Security Price can avoid further increase in income taxes.
:
A Minimum Security Price can be structured to avoid potentially adverse economic
impacts, provide export credits for petrochemicals and discourage OPEC cheating.

IN TRANSITION
*1 WHITE HOUSE MEETING: TAINTED BY PERK FLAP?
Bush and Clinton meet today for the first time since the
debates to discuss the transition, foreign policy urgencies and,
as a WH staffer put it, "perhaps bury the hatchet' from their
bitter campaign" (McDonald, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, 11/18). The
meeting is expected to last about an hour. Clinton: "There are
some, one or two things hanging out there that need addressing
and I want to get his candid assessment of some world issues,
problems I'll be facing in the beginning of my term" ("Morning
Edition," NPR, 11/18). Clinton transition dir. Warren
Christopher said the meeting would "not be just a social call"
(Balto. SUN, 11/18). NBC's Larson: "This is the day Bill Clinton
gets a look at what he won in the election" ("Today," 11/18).
CBS' Plante: "Now, do you wonder what it's going to be like in
the Oval Office this afternoon? After all it was a pretty
bitter, dirty campaign. And it seemed quite clear that the
president and the governor didn't much like one another" ("CBS
This Morning," 11/18).
OH WHAT A DAY! Clinton schedule: Arrive WH 1:10p; 1:20-
2:15p meet with Bush; 2:45p walk down Georgia Avenue, NW (between
Hamilton and Ingram Streets) ; 4:30p depart for Hay-Adams Hotel;
6:00p attend Children's Defense Fund reception; 7:15p private
dinner at Vernon Jordan's home; 10:00p return hotel (N.Y. TIMES,
11/18). Clinton chose the neighborhood on the suggestion of DC
councilmember Charlene Drew Jarvis (Norris, W. POST, 11/18).
TRANSITION TIFF: Clinton press sec. Dee Dee Myers "touched
off the jet flap, suggesting Bush had offered the plane and the
use of Blair House" but that a budget-conscious Clinton said no:
"We said, Thanks, but no thanks" (Orin, N.Y. POST, 11/18). WH
spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater: "I resent them trying to portray
us as offering them luxury and their turning it down, when they
were the ones who asked for it in the first place." Fitzwater
produced a 11/9 letter from Christopher requesting the "immediate
use of government aircraft" for transition-related travel by
Clinton and Gore. The letter added: "I further request that
President Bush make the Blair House available to Governor Clinton
when the governor is in Washington during the transition" (AP/
PHILA. INQUIRER, 11/18). Myers later said "They've been
extremely gracious to us
We're just trying to cut corners.
If
we ... offended them, we apologize" (USA TODAY, 11/18).
Clinton comm. director George Stephanopoulos "said he did not
know whether transition officials had earlier requested the
military jet and Blair House" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 11/18). N.Y.
TIMES' Tolchin reports Clinton's "decision to stay at the Hay-
Adams Hotel instead of the Blair House will cost more because of
the additional Secret Service protection needed." Whereas Blair
House is secure, "hotels must be made secure
...
Hence, teams of
Secret Service agents will be on duty round the clock in rooms
above and below the hotel's Presidential suite, as well as on
both sides" (11/18). NBC's Rabel: "A tiff over how Clinton's
flying to Washington and where's he's staying threatens to mar
the visit" (11/18).
*2 BUSH: BITTER ABOUT TRANSITION, SWATS AT W. POST
"A feisty President Bush, far from acting depressed over his
recent defeat as suggested by some reports, defended his 'gloves-
off' campaign tactics" (Murray, W. TIMES, 11/18). In remarks at
Blair House 11/16 to the Council of American Ambassadors, "where
he apparently didn't know a correspondent was present and
reporting his comments -- Bush complained that the 11-week
transition was 'laborious' and 'too long. Although the WH
announced the event was closed to the press, the event sponsors
allowed in a UPI reporter. WH spokesperson Marlin Fitzwater said
Bush's attitude was "an emotional thing that says: 'It's over;
I'm ready to leave. At the 11/15 event Bush "was caustic
towards other who have criticized his campaign as too negative:
"The campaign is over and like campaigns since 1900 and more
the gloves came off and we went at it, and hard and that's the
way I like it, the way it ought to be, and if The Washington Post
doesn't like it -- too damn bad" (Page, N.Y. NEWSDAY, 11/18).
"If the Constitution allowed abdication, President Bush would
probably hand over the Oval Office to Bill Clinton today and be
done with it, so sour is he already on the lifestyle of a
figurehead president" (Devroy, W. POST, 11/18).
*3 THE TEAM: RILEY TABBED TO HEAD SUB-CABINET HEAD HUNT
Clinton chose ex-SC Gov. Dick Riley for the position of
asst. transition dir. in charge of finding subcabinet officers
and political appointees for federal agencies. The choice "was
meant to signal that
...
Clinton wants people outside Washington
top play a role in staffing his administration" (W.S. JOURNAL,
11/18). Riley is said to be "in the running" for WH CoS. "If
so, then his transition team assignment could prove to be a
tryout" (Fairhall, Balto. SUN, 11/18). Riley said his concern is
"to make sure that we don't have gridlock in the executive
department." While Riley said he was "not a candidate for any
job or post, he "said nothing to indicate he would not be
interested in a position." Clinton told reporters later: "The
work he has to do in helping us fill out these departments may
not be completely done on January 20
so his job may require
him to be part of the administration" (Marcus, W. POST, 11/18).
CNN's Shaw: "One of [Clinton's] old friends and one of the most
popular men in Washington" (11/17). CBS' Rather: "He's an old
Clinton friend and former southern governor" (11/17).
THE LOOP: Transition aides "made clear" that Clinton "will
limit the autonomy of his Cabinet secretaries." Christopher said
the search for subcabinet employees will be "cooperative" between
Clinton and his Cabinet (Balto. SUN, 11/18). N.Y. TIMES'
Friedman sees Riley's position as a signal Clinton "intended to
have a large say in whom his Cabinet officers choose as deputies
to insure that they are loyal to the Clinton agenda." The recent
moves begin "to paint at least the outlines of Mr. Clinton's
management style. Power is likely to be concentrated in the
White House.
Information will be tightly held by a small
circle and passed out when it suits Mr. Clinton" (11/18).
NEWSDAY's Kasindorf notes the "powerful contrast" to the Jimmy
Carter model (11/18). Chris Matthews: "Clinton has moved to grab
and consolidate power like no Chief Executive since" LBJ (S.F.
EXAMINER, 11/18). BOSTON GLOBE's Black reports Clinton "is
sharing thoughts about potential Cabinet secretaries with his
running mate, his wife and his transition director, Warren
Christopher" (11/18). NBC's Mitchell: "Who will be in the
Cabinet is up to just these five people: Clinton, Al Gore,
Warren Christopher, Vernon Jordan and Hillary Clinton" (11/17).
THE PACE: Ex-Bush WH political dir. Ed Rogers: "He is
moving too slow and with each passing day, more and more pressure
is building up from the interest groups, from governors, from
Senators who want their person. Ultimately he'll end up taking
some of those people and they will owe their allegiance to the
Senator or the interest group, not to the president himself."
Sen. Harris Wofford (D-PA): "Fast or slow is not the issue. He
needs to take his time and make the right choices." Rogers:
"Since the campaign they've lost the ability to stay ahead of the
curve
to drive the agenda" ("Larry King, CNN, 11/17).
HILLARY: Historian Carl Anthony: "Mrs. Clinton is less
concerned with titles and more concerned with accomplishing
things." Ex-Nancy Reagan asst. Mary Spaeth: "Have we known any
First Ladies that haven't been a real influence, an enormous
influence. The question is do you need official recognition for
that? The answer is probably no, you shouldn't have it, and I
think Mrs. Clinton is very quickly going to come to that
realization." Atty Marna Tucker: "She will continue being just
what she has been
his partner" ("MacNeil/Lehrer," PBS,
11/17) CBS' Plante [over video of Hillary behind the wheel of a
car]: "Her husband says her role is the same as the rest of her
advisers" ("CBS This Morning," 11/18). ABC's Schneider: "There's
two months till Clinton becomes the man of the house.
Hillary
Clinton will address the Children's Defense Fund, her husband
will be going along as her guest" (11/18). W. POST's Sherrill
profiles her under subhead, "Can Hillary Clinton Be Everything to
Everybody?" (11/18) PHILA. INQUIRER editorial subhead "More
like Eleanor Roosevelt than Barbara Bush" (11/18).
*4 POLICY TALK: WHAT THE LINE-ITEM VETO MEANS TO ME
Sen. Appropriations chair Robert Byrd (D-WV) "looms as the
major obstacle" to giving Clinton some form of line-item veto
power (W. POST, 11/18). N.Y. TIMES editorial header: "Line-Item
Veto: No Hope, No Help" (11/18). SACRAMENTO UNION editorial:
"If used correctly by a president who genuinely wanted to cut
excessive spending, even the limited Foley compromise line-item
veto could become a valuable tool to reduce the budget deficit"
(11/17). ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS editorial header: "Clinton deserves
this veto" (11/17). Bush aide Tony Snow writes Clinton needs the
line-item veto if he really wants to "define himself as 'a new
kind of Democrat" (W.S. JOURNAL, 11/18). N.Y. TIMES' Clymer
writes the argument is not "really about cutting the deficit,"
but stems from a "perceived political necessity, an urgent need
to convey to constituents that lawmakers are willing to take a
bold step to curb Federal spending" (11/18).
BUSINESS OPTIMISM: NPR's Siegel: "Part of Bill Clinton's
campaign message has taken hold, the notion that he is a new kind
of Democrat who believes that business can be an important ally
in changing the economy, not an enemy. Several officials of the
National Chamber of Commerce held a news conference
to say
they're optimistic the Clinton presidency will be good for
business." Chamber of Commerce's William Archey: "This is not
Mr. Dukakis coming in; this is not Mr. Carter coming in; this is
a president-elect and a Democrat from a kind of
philosophical
point of view which is not knee-jerk adversarial to business.
The general view in the business community in [AR] was this was
an accessible governor who was extremely sophisticated about
business issues and gave them a hearing" (11/17).
ECONOMIC TEAM MEETS: Transition economic policy head Robert
Reich convened a strategy session and divided up responsibilities
"to examine different parts of the national economy such as
infrastructure and the federal budget." W.S. JOURNAL reports
those in attendance included investment bankers Robert Rubin and
Roger Altman, both of whom have been mentioned as possibilities
for Treas. Sec., Derek Shearer, Ira Magaziner, Christopher Edley,
Laura Tyson, Rob Shapiro, Lawrence Summers and Michael Wessel
(11/18). W. POST's Marcus describes an "eclectic group that
included non-economists and reflected the independence of other
issues like health policy and foreign affairs with the economy."
Marcus adds foreign policy aide Barry Carter, consultant Letitia
Chambers, transition health policy chief Judith Feder, Gore
adviser Reed Hundt and atty Harrison Welford (11/18).
GRIDLOCK BUSTER: W. POST's Broder writes Clinton's 43%
victory "constitutes a fragile base for governing." Recalling
JFK's difficulties with a Dem Congress: "Party loyalty still
means little. And the personal and institutional loyalties
remain.
None of this, thankfully, presages inevitable
frustration and failure for [Clinton]. It simply demonstrates
that he has another campaign to run" (11/18). Rep. Dick Armey
(R-TX): "The first thing you've got to realize about Bill Clinton
is he's very likely the best politician alive in America today.
And like all politicians, he's on his own side first. He's going
to protect his place in history to the best of his ability."
Rep. Vic Fazio (D-CA) "If Bob Dole wants to take the position of
obstructionist, I think the American people will read the [GOP]
as the reason why we couldn't affect the change they voted for."
Armey: "It's their rules. If they don't want Bob Dole to
participate, let them pass the rules to take away all of his
rights to participate" ("Crossfire," CNN, 11/17).
*5 NAMES AND FACES: BENTSEN, CUOMO, JACKSON, NUNN
BENTSEN: A report commissioned by Sen. Finance chair Lloyd
Bentsen (D-TX) said nine of 10 U.S. high-tech industries "lost
ground to foreign competition in the 1980s." Bentsen, mentioned
as a possible Treas. Sec., "used the report to advance the idea
that the government should be more active in making high-tech
industries more competitive" (Maggs, JOURNAL OF COMMERCE, 11/18).
CUOMO: Gov. Mario Cuomo, on the possibility Clinton would
name him to the Supreme Court: "If an offer were made, I would
answer the question so swiftly that every one of you in the
media, and especially talk-show hosts, would write, This,
surely, is the most decisive man in America. Asked if the
answer would be yes or no: "I don't know what the answer would
be." Cuomo said he "feels perfectly comfortable with the notion
that he will never be President": "Them days are gone forever"
(Verhovek, N.Y. TIMES, 11/18).
JACKSON: Jesse Jackson told the BOSTON GLOBE's Derrick
Jackson the "alarm clock is ticking" for Clinton: "When people's
expectations are raised, they fight to protect their hopes.
Under more progressive administrations, you have more demands,
more action, because people believe something can happen. And so
you will see major action this spring, demonstrations, fighting
to put America back to work, fighting for national health care,
fighting for D.C. statehood." Jackson called the Clinton
campaign's approach toward him this fall "annoying," but added:
"Think of it as a burning house, and your children are in there.
How you approach it would be quite different than if it were
empty.
If I had spent a lot of time attacking him in a way
that diminished [minority voting] numbers, we could have lost
some congressmen we were trying to get.
...
Now the fire is out.
Now our children are out of the house.
When [Clinton] fights
for the things we support, we support him. When he does not, we
should challenge him" (11/18).
NUNN: Evans & Novak report Sen. Sam Nunn (D-GA) warns the
next two months could be "crucial" in terms of stability in
Russia. Nunn agreed with the notion of retiring Amb. to Russia
Bob Strauss serving to "bridge the Bush-Clinton policy gap during
the transition and coordinate a U.S. -Western Europe-Japan
response to disasters unfolding in the former Communist world"
(W. POST, 11/18).
STEPHANOPOULOS: W.S. JOURNAL's Birnbaum profiles George
Stephanopoulos, noting Clinton's response during the flap over
whether campaign chair Mickey Kantor would head the transition:
"I want to talk to George.' Stephanopoulos is "already a
familiar face to millions of Americans. But he soon also will be
a big player in [DC], where he is likely to advise the new
president not just on communications but on policy and
legislative strategy as well" (11/18).
BARRISTERS: W. POST's Biskupic reports Duke's Walter
Dellinger and Harvard's Laurence Tribe "are two leading lights"
to be Solicitor Gen.: "Both men clearly want the job" (11/18).
*6 EDUCATION: BE A GOVERNOR, FIRST, IT'S SMARTER
The HOTLINE talked to the nation's top educational
organizations and got their wish-list for Secretary of Education
in the Clinton administration. Ex-NJ Gov. Tom Kean (R) and CO
Gov. Roy Romer were most frequently mentioned.

NATIONAL BRIEFING
*7
LAKE GENEVA DAYS: PEACEFUL RGA MEET ENDS WITH A BANG
The RGA ended their 4-day meeting "proclaiming themselves
upbeat and united despite a brewing internal conflict over
religion and morality." That conflict surfaced at a post-
conference press session where MS Gov. Kirk Fordice declared the
"United States is a Christian nation. Fordice: "It's just a
simple fact of life in the United States of America. What's
needed is instruction in character. The less we emphasize the
Christian religion, the further we fall into the abyss of poor
character and chaos." SC Gov. Carroll Campbell "felt compelled
to follow up by saying 'the value base of this country comes from
the Judeo-Christian heritage that we have. The press
conference then "quickly ended." RGA chair/WI Gov. Tommy
Thompson later told reporters it was a "correct assumption" to
say this is "essentially a Christian nation." But he added that
doesn't mean "people's religious beliefs should dominate a
political party. I'm trying to bring this party together. You
can't expand the base if some narrow ideological view is going to
govern you. I don't want litmus tests." Asked if that approach
might leave some out of the party: "I'm not worried about
leaving people behind. If people are not comfortable with that,
that's too bad" (Mayers, WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL, 11/18). N.Y.
TIMES' Berke reports until the press conference, the govs. "had
shown restraint about allowing the struggle to come into public
view." But differences were seen in comments about Pat
Robertson. MA Gov. William Weld: "A lot of these pundits are
running around saying that Pat Robertson's captured the [GOP].
He hasn't captured me." Fordice on Robertson: "He certainly
doesn't have control of this party, but he represents Christian
people who are rather strong on this country. They feel like
they ought to have a voice" (11/18).
SPEAKERS: Earlier in the day, the conference heard from ex-
Bush health policy aide Deborah Steelman, Sec/Education Lamar
Alexander, House Min. Whip Newt Gingrich and ex-WH CoS John
Sununu. Steelman "cited a host of statistics showing health care
has become a principal, if not the central concern of baby boom
families and corporations": "You cannot have a dinner table
conversation where health care is not raised, unless you are
talking to a bunch of Republicans in Washington. That's got to
change" (Edsall, W. POST, 11/18). Sununu addressed a closed
session. According to Thompson, the subject was the need to
"repackage the Republican message" (Roth, HOUSTON CHRONICLE,
11/18). L.A. TIMES' Shogan reports no speaker seemed to have a
simple answer for resolving what may be the thorniest and most
explosive problem shadowing the GOP's effort to expand its ranks"
-- abortion, "which the party platform unconditionally opposes
and which has become a symbol for the broader intra-party
controversy over the influence of religious conservatives and the
traditional values they militantly espouse" (11/18).
*8 GOP '96: POTENTIAL NOMINEES? LAKE GENEVA'S LOUSY WITH 'EM
USA TODAY's Benedetto reports those govs. with '96
aspirations all "have political baggage." CA's Pete Wilson "must
survive an expected" '94 challenge from Treas. Kathleen Brown
(D). Weld "is concerned about a possible '94 challenge" from
Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA). Thompson "needs a base from which to
run." MI's John Engler "is hampered by Michigan's economic
problems and needs to show improvements" by '94. Campbell "can't
run for a third term" under SC law but could seek the Sen. Strom
Thurmond's (R) seat, should he retire (11/18).
THE MODERATES: Under "Little enthusiasm for Wilson at GOP
governors meeting, SACRAMENTO BEE's Chance writes "there were
plenty of sobering reminders here for Wilson about his party's
losses in California this year, and the difficulties he will face
if he seeks re-election as expected." Among other news, Wilson
heard pollsters "warn that candidates like him who are up for re-
election two years from now face a tough political challenge if
voters believe strongly that their state is 'on the wrong
track.' Wilson: "I didn't need to come here to learn that.
But what we are going to do is outline exactly what it is we
think the state needs and push aggressively to achieve it"
(11/17). Reporting for NPR, WBUR-radio's Brooks profiles Weld as
a potential '96 candidate. Top Weld political aide John Moffitt:
"He's well positioned to do that. His press outside the state
has been excellent, and I think he's going to be the natural
focus of a good many people in the party who are looking toward
the future." Brooks notes the GOP lost seats in the state Senate
to give the Dems a veto-proof majority, which "could confine his
political energies" to MA politics (NPR, 11/17).
POLITICAL LESSON: Educ. Sec. Lamar Alexander addressed the
RGA Conference on education, but "made it clear politics were on
his mind": "Bill Clinton and Al Gore are smart and young and
like to use power, and they're laying plans to be there for 16
years. We're going to have to be good (to) get back the
presidency in four years" (USA TODAY, 11/18).
COMMENTARY: N.Y. DAILY NEWS' Nelson: "If he plays his
cards right -- and sticks to the positions that got him elected,
Clinton has it in his power to keep the [GOP] on the fringes for
a long time to come" (11/18). Center for the New West pres.
Philip Burgess writes the "Family Values" wing of the GOP "might
hijack" the party. "If that happens, the [GOP] will be
marginalized" in pres. and state elections (ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS,
11/17). Ex-DE Gov. Pete du Pont writes, "We -- the millions of
Americans who comprise the low tax, small-government majority --
must be energetic in explaining the benefits of our agenda as we
are in explaining the cost of theirs" (BOSTON HERALD, 11/17).
Manchester UNION LEADER editorial: "For the party to heed the
Weld-Rudman call 'toward the center' and away from the winning
ways of the Reagan era would be to guarantee early the reelection
of Bill Clinton in 1996 (11/17).
*9 THE RACE FOR RNC CHAIR: ASCHROFT READY TO JOIN FRAY?
K.C. STAR's Hood reports Gov. John Ashcroft (R-MO) "removed
any doubts this week that he is exploring" a bid for RNC chair.
Ashcroft spokesperson Bob Ferguson: "After the election was
over, the governor received many calls from both Washington
insiders and political leaders across the country asking him to
consider running. He began to give it some consideration. At
the governor's conference he continued to receive encouragement."
Sen. Jack Danforth (R-MO) "If he wants to run, I think that
would be terrific. He certainly knows politics. He's been in a
variety of different offices. He's very energetic, very
attractive, very highly regarded." Ashcroft "could count on two"
of MO's three votes. MO state chair Tom Fowler and national
committeewoman Bobby Capps Moore said they "strongly support"
Ashcroft. Also mentioned: ex-DE Gov. Pete du Pont, ex-Reagan
aide Haley Barbour, NRCC co-chair Spencer Abraham, Labor Sec.
Lynn Martin, retiring Rep. Vin Weber (R-MN), Bush chief
strategist Charlie Black, GOP strategist Wm Bennett (11/18).
*10 REMEMBER THE S&LS: GOOD NEWS, FOR A CHANGE
Resolution Trust Corp. chief exec. Albert Casey, the former
head of American Airlines, said "he believes the job will be
largely done next year, and he nearly halved his previous
predictions of the remaining cost -- down to $25 billion." Casey
put the total cost of the "disposition" of failed S&Ls by the RTC
at $110-112 billion. Casey's estimate is "well below" the $130-
160 billion the Treasury "has stuck to, " as well as the estimates
of outgoing Office of Thrift Supervision dir. Timothy Ryan. Ryan
said 10 days ago another $50 billion would be needed on top of
the $88 billion already approved by Congress. Casey, seeking to
hold on to his position in the Clinton admin., attributed the cut
in costs "to aggressive new sales techniques" (W. POST, 11/18).
"Prospects for lower RTC costs and closing the agency could be a
boon" to Clinton (Dawson, PHILA. INQUIRER, 11/18). W.S. JOURNAL
reports other Bush officials "aren't as optimistic" (11/18).
SPEAKING OF RESOLUTION: Denver homebuilder MDC Holdings
Inc. has agreed to turn over nearly $70 million "to avoid a
lawsuit over its alleged role in the failure" of Silverado S&L.
In addition, MDC paid another $10 million to avoid a suit over
its involvement with Charles Keating's Lincoln S&L. Grand juries
in CA and AZ are still investigating other thrift failures where
MDC may have been involved. Also, the FEC is continuing its
probe of MDC's political fund-raising (DENVER POST, 11/17).
THE '92 ELECTIONS
*11 GEORGIA SENATE: CLINTON ET AL MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
With the Senate runoff on 11/24, the big names are coming,
the big names are coming. Today VP-elect Gore, actress Kim
Basinger and Michael Stipe of the band REM will campaign for Sen.
Wyche Fowler (D) in Athens --in the northern part of GA, "where
Fowler ran poorly and where Chattanooga [TV] stations have beamed
Gore's sound bites for years." REM hails from Athens. For the
GOP, ex-Peace Corps dir. Paul Coverdell brings in Charlton Heston
(Moses, NRA, etc.) to criticize Fowler for supporting the Brady
Bill (COLUMBUS LEDGER-ENQUIRER 11/17). HUD Sec. Jack Kemp was in
GA last Friday, Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) yesterday, and Sen. Min.
Leader Bob Dole stumps for Coverdell on Friday (LEDGER-ENQUIRER,
11/17; W. POST, USA TODAY 11/18).
CLINTON: Gore returns 11/22; DNC Chair Ron Brown and
several farm state Senators will be in state 11/23; and W. POST's
Dewar reports President-elect Bill Clinton is also "expected" to
campaign for Fowler 11/23 (11/18). Columnist Mark Shields, while
reporting some cautioned Clinton against campaigning for Fowler,
says a campaign stop is really a win-win for him: Clinton would
get major credit should Fowler win; and if he loses, "Clinton
would still benefit form the improved sense, within Congress and
the political community at large, of him as a stand-up, go-
through guy" (N.Y. POST, 11/18).
AND BUSH? The Coverdell camp had considered bringing in
the president or Barbara Bush, "but aides said the high cost of
presidential travel ruled out that trip" (LEDGER-ENQUIRER 11/17).
TURNOUT: That's the name of the game. On 11/3, 73% of
registered voters turned, when the Libertarian candidate pulled
3% of the vote and forced Fowler into a runoff. GA Sec/State Max
Cleland predicts a 25% turnout 11/24 (USA TODAY, 11/18).
Mark Shields writes Coverdell's GOP vote, "more upscale and
suburban is much more likely to show up at the polls for a
special election than are Fowler's Democrats, who are poorer and
much more black" (N.Y. POST, 11/18). But on 11/3, "Coverdell was
helped by the votes of conservative Christians who turned out in
droves to vote against a lottery referendum which passed"
(Watson, USA TODAY, 11/18). And GA analyst Bill Shipp reports
Fowler thinks the Perot vote which helped Coverdell last time
won't show up this time (BILL SHIPP'S GEORGIA 11/16). GOPers,
however, "insist that the pre-election visit by Clinton could
backfire by turning out Republicans eager to avenge Clinton's
[narrow] victory in the state" (Dewar, W. POST, 11/18).
A CLOSING ISSUE: In a debate taped 11/16 in Augusta to be
aired 11/21, Fowler responded angrily to Coverdell charges that
he favors reducing the $600,000 estate tax exemption to $200,000
-- a step proposed in the U.S. House which Coverdell says would
hurt farmers and other middle-income families. Fowler claims he
was one of those who achieved the $600,000 exemption in the first
place: "Coverdell has the most unbelievable gall, unbelievable
gall to say to me, face to face, that I want to take my own law
down from $600,000." Coverdell aides point to a constituent
letter in which Fowler described the purpose of long-term health
insurance legislation in the House, which would have been
financed by a reduction of the estate-tax exemption. Fowler
stopped short "of specifically endorsing the bill" (Bondurani,
ALBANY HERALD, 11/17). Under "Wyche the tax man," an AUGUSTA
CHRONICLE editorial chides Fowler for favoring an increase in the
inheritance tax (11/17)
*12 NORTH DAKOTA SENATE: TRADING COMMODITY BARBS
Not-so-retiring Sen. Kent Conrad (D) "ripped into" state
Rep. Jack Dalrymple's (R) plan to increase commodity prices
during their first debate 11/16. Conrad called Dalrymple's
proposed $5 marketing loan for wheat "too good to be true"
(AP/BISMARK TRIBUNE, 11/17). Conrad: "Anybody that thinks
that's going to happen under current budget conditions, I think,
is not telling the folks the truth" (FARGO FORUM, 11/17). But
Dalrymple "defended his plan, taking aim instead at the 1990 Farm
Bill approved while Conrad was in Washington" (TRIBUNE, 11/17).
The issue was the major focus of the debate sponsored by the
Farmer's Union, the Farm Bureau and the Nat'l Farmers
Organization. The event was broadcast on radio from ND State
University before an audience of 200. Abortion activist Darold
Larson (I) "was not invited to participate but will be included
in at least one other public [TV] debate" (FARGO FORUM, 11/17).
ON AIR ELSEWHERE: A federal judge has refused to stop the
airing of Larson's graphic anti-abortion ads, forcing WDAZ-TV and
WDAY-TV to air the ads this weekend. "The stations had sought a
temporary restraining order against the ads," which feature
pictures of aborted fetuses. But U.S. District Judge Rodney Webb
"said it is the FCC's responsibility, and not the court's, to
clarify its rules governing indecent or obscene ads.' Webb, in
his ruling, "chastised" the FCC for "shirking its responsibility"
by not clearly saying whether ads showing aborted fetuses are
indecent or obscene (AP/G.F. HERALD, 11/14).

50 STATE REPORT
*13 CALIFORNIA: HERSCHENSOHN ACCUSER GETS OLD JOB BACK
CA Dem political dir. Bob Mulholland was reintstated to his
job. He was suspended without pay 10/31 after he -- "without
authorization" and with just four days before the election --
personally confronted GOP Senate candidate Bruce Herschensohn at
a campaign appearance and accused him of being a regular patron
of a strip joint and adult book store. CA Dem chair Phil
Angelides and other party officials "had known about Mulholland's
research into Herschensohn's visit to the club, but had not
wanted to use the information" on behalf of Barbara Boxer (D).
CA Dem exec. director Susan Kennedy: "Bob broke an organizational
rule but he did not tell any lies. Had he not told the truth he
would have been gone.
...
He is a brilliant strategist." During
the campaign, Boxer immediate denied any knowledge of
Mulholland's actions. Boxer manager Rose Kapolczynski: "I
thought the suspension was necessary and appropriate. I will not
second guess Phil Angelides managing his staff to decide whether
this was the appropriate length of time for suspension, but I
hope Bob learned that this was not an appropriate thing to do."
Herschenshohn manager Ken Khachigian called the reinstatement "an
outrage": "They (Democrats) perpetrated the one verifiable,
identifiable, dirty trick of the 1992 campaign
a
planned,
orchestrated, calculated smear on Bruce. Khachigian called
Mulholland the "walking stink bomb" of the CA Dem Party and "said
Mulholland had effectively made the private lives of Democratic
candidates issues for Republicans in elections to come."
Mulholland today is "unrepentant": "In the last 10 days
Herschensohn started talking about religious values and I saw the
hypocrisy" (Raine, S.F. EXAMINER, 11/18).
*14 FLORIDA: DEADLOCKED SENATE CAN'T CHOOSE A LEADER
GOP gains in the election brought the state Senate to a 20-
20 tie, and now the body cannot elect a Pres. After 9 ballots
and 8 hours of negotiations 11/17, the chamber remained
"hopelessly mired." Dems were sticking by their candidate, Sen.
Pat Thomas, and the GOP by theirs, Sen. Ander Crenshaw. The
Dems, who have controlled the chamber since 1874, offered to
share leadership equally --- having each party's pres. serve two
years, have even distribution of cmte slots and cmte chairs --
but the GOP was unwilling to share the president slot. Crenshaw,
"a potential candidate" for gov. in '94: "The leadership ought
to be in our corner. I think our members are pretty emphatic."
Negotiations continue today (O'Neal, ORLANDO SENTINEL, 11/18).
*15 MINNESOTA: DURENBERGER REFUSES TO RESIGN AMID CONTROVERSIES
In an open letter faxed to news editors around the state,
Sen. Dave Durenberger (R) said "he will not resign under pressure
of two 'legal controversies, insisting that the dawn of the new
Clinton administration and its agenda will make him more
effective in Washington." Durenberger: "If we allow rumors and
unproven charges to remove someone from office, we're just
contributing to the disintegration of leadership in this country"
(Thomma, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 11/17). "Questions about
Durenberger's tenure in the remaining two years of his current
term have been rampant in the face of a federal criminal
investigation of his finances and a civil lawsuit accusing him of
rape and paternity" (Thomma, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 11/17).
Durenberger's letter, labeled "not for publication, came in
response to an 11/15 Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE editorial that
called for Durenberger's resignation (STAR TRIBUNE, 11/17). STAR
TRIBUNE editorial: "This is no time for the public to judge the
merits of the civil case against Durenberger, which has just
begun. Much less is it time to judge a federal case in which no
indictment has yet emerged. But the court of public opinion is
always in session on questions of a senator's suitability for
office. As one of many voices in the opinion courtroom, we urged
in 1990 that Durenberger resign his Senate seat. We repeat our
plea that he resign." The editorial urges Durenberger to ask
Gov. Arne Carlson (R) to appoint a replacement -- "a Republican
unencumbered by the ethical baggage and legal pressures that
Durenberger otherwise will carry into the last two years of his
term" (11/15). "One of the top candidates on the list" of
possible replacements, retiring Rep. Vin Weber (R-02) penned a
recent STAR-TRIBUNE op-ed to "dispel the notion that a
resignation would help the party" (PIONEER PRESS, 11/17).
*16 TENNESSEE SENATE: SOME COUNTRY MUSICAL CHAIRS
Gov. Ned Ray McWherter (D-TN) has said he would not appoint
a successor to VP-elect Gore until after the 12/4 meeting of the
Electoral College makes the November results official -- and he
has not indicated whether he would appoint a caretaker or someone
who would go on to run for the 2-year balance of the term in '94.
Names mentioned most prominently include Dem Reps. John Tanner
and James Cooper. It is also speculated that McWherter might
name TN's first female Sen.; mentioned are Jane Eskind (former
chair of TN Public Service Commission), Peaches Simpkins (chair
of the TN Higher Ed Commis.), and TN House Speaker pro-tem Lois
DeBerry (recommended by the TN Black Caucus). DeBerry: "I just
don't believe they will appoint a black woman to Al Gore's seat."
One factor in the pick is an estimated $4M it might cost to
defend the seat in 1994 -- in the face of a possible challenge
from Educ. Sec./ex-Gov. Lamar Alexander (R). TN GOP Chair Tommy
Hopper: "It would take a lot of money to overcome Lamar
Alexander's name in this state" (Nashville TENNESSEAN, 11/15).
IF IT'S A CONGRESSMAN, THEN WHAT? Tanner's 8th CD has
always been a heavily Dem seat, and became heavier with re-
districting. The CD lies in mostly rural west TN, with a part in
Memphis (although a Memphis Dem might have trouble winning the
rural vote). Possible candidates: State Rep. Roy Herron (D),
from McWherter's home town of Dresden; state Sen. Jim Kyle (D)
and state Rep. Matt Kisber (D) would each have a strong base
district from which to run; Memphis City Councilman Tom Marshall
(D) has already said he seek the seat if it is vacated; TN House
Speaker Jimmy Naifeh (D) said 11/5 he would not. U.S. Atty Ed
Bryan (R) is the only Republican now expected to run; he sought
the seat when Tanner first won it. Cooper's 4th CD in Middle/
east TN, contains no city of any size with Morristown the largest
population center with 15,000-20,000 people. Cooper has never
had a serious opponent since he first won the seat from Howard
Baker's daughter in 1982. There would be no obvious successor
(HOTLINE sources).
*17 TEXAS: OLD FOE TO TAKE ON RICHARDS?
"On the heals of his overwhelming defeat in his re-election
bid," outgoing Bexar Co. Sheriff Harlon Copeland (R) said he was
"eyeing a campaign" against Gov. Ann Richards (D) in '94.
Copeland, "who has been at odds" with Richards since "he injected
a hotly disputed drug allegation into her 1990 race for
governor": "It's certainly a possibility." Richards contributed
$50,000 to Sheriff-elect Ralph Lopez (D) during the campaign and
helped him raise another $50,000 to fuel a successful challenge
against Copeland (Davidson, San Antonio EXPRESS NEWS, 11/17).
CAMPAIGNS OF '93
*18 NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR: GOP PRIMARY FIELD TAKING SHAPE
Christine Todd Whitman (R), "who attracted national
attention for her near defeat" of Sen. Bill Bradley (D) in 1990,
is expected to officially announce her candidacy for governor
sometime in 1/93. GOP strategist Ed Rollins, who has been
advising Whitman "informally for months" in connection with her
Cmte for an Affordable NJ group, will serve as her consultant.
Whitman resigned from the group last week and set up a cmte to
prepare for her entry into the race. Rep. Dick Zimmer (R-12) and
ex-Ocean Co. assemblywoman Hazel Frank Gluck will co-chair People
for Whitman '93. Gluck's firm will be managing the campaign, ex-
Essex Co. GOP chair Michael Francis will serve as finance dir.
and ex-NJ GOP finance dir. Cliff Sobel will serve as senior
adviser. Ex-AG Cary Edwards (R), who finished 2nd in the '89
gov. primary, is also expected to announce his candidacy 1/93.
Although Edwards has yet to announce his political team, two
"key" staffers "are expected to be" Rep. Dean Gallo's (R-11) aide
Peter McDonough and NJ GOP Senate caucus dep. dir./ex-NJ GOP
exec. dir. Jeff Michaels. State Sen. John O. Bennett III, who
ranks 3rd in the GOP Senate leadership, Burlington Co. GOP chair
Glenn Paulson and ex-Essex Co. GOP chair John Renna are also
"heavily involved" in Edwards' camp. Edwards called his strong
hometown strength in Bergen Co. "the most important thing
that I have" (Magyar, ASBURY PARK PRESS, 11/18).
FROM THE RIGHT: Whitman and Edwards are both moderates "in
the mold" of ex-Gov. Tom Kean (R), who appointed both of them to
various positions during his tenure. From the conservative wing
of the GOP, Assembly speaker Chuck Haytaian "has enjoyed several
weeks of speculation about his possible entry" to the race and
State Sen. Judiciary chair Wm Gormley, who finished 4th in the
'89 primary, "is also considering a run." Both would have to
abdicate their Leg. seats to run (ASBURY PARK PRESS, 11/18).
BRINGIN' IN THE BIG GUNS: Gov. Jim Florio, so far unopposed
in the Dem primary, has hired Clinton strategist James Carville,
who ran Sen. Frank Lautenberg's (D) tough '88 re-election.
IT'S STARTING ALREADY: Although she "has not yet made a
final decision to become a candidate," Whitman announced the
formation of her exploratory cmte and her intention to take no
PAC money (Whitman release, 11/17). Bridgewater COURIER-NEWS
columnist/Dem campaign worker Sherry Sylvester writes if GOPers
"are smart enough to give Whitman" the GOP nod, Dems "should
worry" about Dem women "deserting the party to vote for her."
Florio got an "F" for his inclusion of women in his admin. from
NJ's NOW chapter. But "it's not just [his] failure" to include
women, "it's also the male-dominated and sometimes anti-feminist
behavior" of Dem leaders (11/12).
*19 L.A. MAYOR: MOLINA DECLINES RUN; RACE THROWN WIDE OPEN
L.A. Co. Supervisor Gloria Molina, "widely regarded as the
likely front-runner if she entered the race" for mayor, bowed out
as a possible contender 11/17, saying she "cannot walk away after
serving barely 20 months as the first Latino member this century"
of the Board of Supervisors. Other candidates "were delighted."
Announced candidate L.A. city councilman Joel Wachs: "We all
breathed a sign of relief when we heard the good news." Molina
said she hasn't decided who will get her endorsement in the 4/93
primary but she received "no fewer that three phone calls from
contenders seeking her support" after her announcement. Ex-
school board pres./Amb. to Mexico Julian Nava becomes the "best
known Latino" in the race. L.A. city councilman Richard
Alatorre, a "bitter" Molina rival, said he is "giving serious
thought" to a possible run. Earlier he tried to "mend fences by
indicating he would support Molina if she ran," but Molina was
"adamant about not returning the favor." Councilman Michael Woo
said Latino leaders have told him "they were interested in his
candidacy but would not take a position
until they learned
Molina's intentions": "My chances, which were already very good,
are getting better." Molina's decision leaves the race "without
a prominent woman candidate." Longtime Molina supporter/Fund for
Feminist Majority's Peg Yorkin said she would "begin a search"
for a female contender. Other candidates include: councilmen
Nate Holden, L.A. Co. Trans. Commis. Nick Patsaouras and ex-dep.
Mayor Tom Houston. Atty Richard Riordan is expected to announce
today, and assemblyman Richard Katz, who has hired Clinton
strategist James Carville, is also expected to announce. Council
pres. John Ferraro, councilman Zev Yaroslavsky, attys Stanley
Sanders and James Blancarte are also considering bids. Molina
also said she would not take a DC job with the Clinton admin
(Simon/Rainey, L.A. TIMES, 11/18).
'94 PREVIEW
*20 GOVERNORS '94: MIDTERM GRADES, DAY 2
Following are midterm reports on the 10 GOP and 2
independent governors eligible to seek re-election in '94. For
Dem govs. up in '94 and for job ratings on all 27 current govs.
who can run again, see HOTLINE 11/17.
ALASKA: There is speculation Gov. Wally Hickel (I) may not
seek a 2nd term in '94. He ranks at the bottom of the nation in
gov. popularity and has been the subject to recall movements. He
won his 3-way race calling for opening the Arctic Nat'l Wildlife
Refuge to drilling for natural gas, but he has yet to be
unsuccessful. With Clinton's victory, Hickel's only option now
is a lawsuit against the government. Should he run again, he
would definitely face opponents from both parties.
ARIZONA: The GOP gained control of the state Senate, taking
five seats from the Dems and added a seat to its House majority.
Gov. Fife Symington (R) was an active participant in local
elections and was given some credit for the GOP gains. Also this
year, the MLK holiday finally passed -- with more than 60% of the
vote -- but Symington did not take a high-profile role in the
race. AG Grant Woods (D), who has had publicized run-ins with
Symington over the issue of gaming on Native American
reservations, is a possible challenger.
CALIFORNIA: Gov. Pete Wilson (R) saw Dems strengthen their
majorities in both houses. In addition, Prop. 165, designed and
funded by Wilson to give the governor more control over the
budget process, failed by 54-46%. Not only did Dems gain 2 seats
in the Assembly, but the GOP Assembly caucus will likely fall
under control of more conservative GOPers leary of the moderate
Wilson. While Wilson's standing as a '96 pres. hopeful may have
dimmed slightly after the '91 budget morass, the '94 election
could revive him.
CONNECTICUT: Gov. Lowell Weicker (I) can expect challenges
from both sides in '94 no matter what happens in the upcoming
session. He has not made clear his '94 plans. Weicker's "A
Connecticut Party" endorsed leg. candidates from both parties,
and claimed 43 House wins and 13 Senate wins, according to ACP.
But the CT GOP claims Weicker lost some of his strongest leg.
allies, leaving him with only a coalition of 10-12 backers.
ILLINOIS: The GOP gained control of the Senate by picking
up three (maybe four) seats. Despite losing five seats, Dems
held their large majority in the house. While Clinton carried
the state handily, no one placed the blame with Gov. Jim Edgar
(R). The combination of a weak economy and the Carol Moseley
Braun phenomenon combined to rig the state in favor of the Dems.
Edgar maintained a good working relationship with the leg. in
'91, and that should only improve with control of the Senate.
Edgar's downstate roots should also prove helpful if he faces
Cook Co. board chair Richard Phelan (D) in '94.
IOWA: The GOP cut into the Dem advantage in the Senate by
two seats and took over the House by picking up 6 seats. Gov.
Terry Branstad (R), in his third term, has given all indications
that he will seek a fourth. The legislative make-up is the most
favorable Branstad has had in his tenure. The IA GOP was also
encouraged by big wins in high-profile races -- Rep. Nussle over
Rep. Nagle and Rep. Lightfoot holding on over Sec/State Baxter.
Branstad took no position on the failed state ERA prop.
MASSACHUSETTS: Gov. William Weld (R) failed to build on the
GOP's '90 leg. gains. Dems picked up 7 Senate seats and 4 house
seats to gain veto-proof majorities in both houses. Weld was
criticized for focusing more on his national image than helping
local GOP candidates. He did put on a late push in some MA
campaigns, but not enough to stem the Dem gains. Weld did help
GOP challengers defeat incumbent Dem Reps. Mavroules and Early,
but was by no means instrumental in their victories. Weld,
mentioned as a potential '96 presidential candidate, has
announced his intentions to run for re-election in '94.
MICHIGAN: Gov. John Engler (R), a strong and consistent
supporter of Pres. Bush, saw his state go Democrat for the first
pres. election since 1968. But Clinton's victory is seen much
more as a measure of economic insecurity than a measure of
Engler's popularity. The question remains whether those concerns
will continue into '94, and, if so, will they be targeted at
Engler or Clinton and the Dem Congress. Engler's biggest win
came in leg. battles as the GOP held onto the Senate while
gaining a majority in the House. Taking six seats from the Dems,
the GOP now controls the House, 56-54. An initiative designed to
give the governor more budgetary power failed, but it was not
considered as much a personal loss for Engler as similar
questions in other states were to their governors.
MINNESOTA: Dems held their majorities in both houses,
losing only one seat in the Senate and building up a 40-seat
advantage in the House. Gov. Arne Carlson (R) lost the '90 GOP
primary but assumed the nomination after Jon Grunseth withdrew
over sexual allegations. His win over Gov. Rudy Perpich (D) was
considered more a vote against the incumbent than a vote for
Carlson. Two years later, he is yet to solidify his situation.
And as a moderate GOPer, still faces considerable opposition
within his own Independent-Republican party.
NEW HAMPSHIRE: Newly-elected Gov. Steve Merrill (R) faces
re-election again in '94.
OHIO: Gov. George Voinovich (R) suffered the dual blows of
Bush's OH loss and John Glenn's defeat of his own LG, Mike
Dewine. Voinovich campaigned hard for both. But the GOP did
make inroads into the Dem House majority (picking up 8) and was
able to hold on to its Senate majority. Some OH wags talk of the
return to politics of ex-Gov. Richard Celeste (D)
WISCONSIN: While Dems still have majorities in both houses,
the GOP gained one Senate seat and 6 House seats. Gov. Tommy
Thompson (R) was very active for Bush, not as much for defeated
Sen. Bob Kasten or GOP leg. members. Some GOPers seem to believe
more activity from Thompson could have helped them take one of
the two houses. Indications from Thompson's camp are that he
will seek re-election. He is extremely popular and no Dems
appear eager to line up to take him on.

about it: Neither of them can remember the 1960s, both of them
ignored George Bush after they got elected, and neither one of
them is the real power in the family."
-- Jay Leno on Clinton using Reagan as a transition model,
"Tonight," NBC, 11/17.

to the world. It was your wonderful letter
that did the trick.
Thank you so very much for your

your offer has been a wonderful tonic. Just

Dear Barbara and George:
Michaela Rose - our big tub of a boat - will be in
Mediterranean waters about the middle of April and in
the Baltic later in the summer until the first part
of September. We would like for you all to take it
over for a couple of weeks, and more.
It would be a seclusion such as you probably have not
known for over twelve years. You will have twelve
beds in six cabins and four for Secret Service in a
cabin toward the stern, and more Secret Service can
be accommodated in the crew quarters. There is a
crew of ten on board. Enclosed is a photograph of
the Michaela Rose.
She is outfitted to the gunnels, though the waters in
the Mediterranean might be cold for getting into the
sea during the early months. Communications are
complete, including 24-hour dial-out phone as well as
call-in phone, fax, TV, etc.
You have Presidented and Vice Presidented for us for
a long, long time. It is time you all did something
for yourselves.
Take your time in considering this, and select your
own time. And welcome back. to the world!
Warm regards,
Trammul and
Margaret.
